My son had tympanoplasty performed on his ear 3 years ago. He is now experiencing drainage from that same ear and what appears to be excessive ear wax, causing some hearing disruption. Could this be an issue with the surgery? Assuming it isn t, what could be causing this? His peditrician said that he doesn t have an ear infection, however, his ear canal is extremely red and inflammed. Also, it is probably not related, but has also started getting nose bleeds almost daily.
